Sol Plaatje's Native Life in South Africa
Otelo Burning(dir. Sara Blecher, 2011)

Black writers and the historical novel
The start of the twentieth century witnessed the first explorations of the novel form by black South African writers. Between 1907 and 1948 many important novels were published that despite their various themes seemed predicated on some degree of engagement with aspects of South Africa's complex and contested history. Amongst many other concerns, three historical developments informed the dominant concerns of the novelists. The first was the larg…
Sol Plaatje's Native Life in South Africa
Using Sol Plaatje as a representative figure and his Native Life in South Africa as its primary text, this article explores the political and ethical imperatives that informed the act of writing amongst the first generation of African writers in South Africa. Native Life in South Africa was written as an appeal to the British government and public to denounce the passing of the Land Act of 1913 and the book is a fascinating manifestation of the l…
Kwaito, ‘dawgs' and the antimonies of hustling

It entails the institutional politics that inform all aspects of the creation and reception of performance, including criticism. What is striking about much of the scholarship is the implicit…

This article explores the promotion of theatre amongst Africans by Fr Bernard Huss at St Francis College, Mariannhill, Natal. It starts with a delineation of the intellectual traditions operative at the mission. Two areas are highlighted in this regard: the use of the vocabularies of narrative and drama to validate the idea that evangelism is a melodrama of sorts, and secondly how the struggle between Christian and heathen results in a proclivity…
I Will Open My Mouth in Parables
Commentators on the development of African theatre in South Africa have made only passing reference to the pioneering plays performed by African students at St. Francis College, Mariannhill Mission, Natal. The dramas were directed by Father Bernard Huss, who served as the principal of St. Francis between 1915 and 1927. Performances were held at St. Francis, the Native Location Hall at Depot Road, Durban, and at teacher training conferences. The r…
